Discover what makes us the preferred child care choice for Downtown Jersey City families.
At Park View Academy, bilingual education is not an add-on. It is woven into every moment of the day. From circle time and storytime to meals and outdoor play, children hear and use both Spanish and English naturally.
Research consistently shows that early bilingual exposure enhances cognitive flexibility, problem-solving skills, and academic performance. In a community as diverse as Jersey City, bilingualism is both a gift and a practical advantage.
The HighScope Curriculum is one of the most well-researched approaches to early childhood education in the world. It emphasizes active participatory learning, where children plan, do, and review their own activities with the guidance of skilled teachers.
HighScope children consistently outperform peers in kindergarten readiness, social skills, and academic achievement. Our teachers are trained in HighScope methods and apply them every day to create engaging, meaningful learning experiences.
Park View Academy was born from a simple idea: create the daycare experience we would want for our own children. Co-founders Yeon Benkovitz and Diane Branco are Jersey City moms who understood firsthand the challenge of finding warm, trustworthy, community-centered care in Downtown JC.
That personal connection shapes everything we do. We are not a corporate chain. We are a neighborhood school built by families, for families. When you walk through our doors, you feel it in the warmth of our teachers, the thoughtfulness of our spaces, and the care we put into every detail.
Park View Academy is fully licensed by the State of New Jersey Department of Children and Families (License #170600199). We maintain the highest standards of health, safety, and security at both of our locations.
From secure entry systems and comprehensive health screenings to CPR-certified staff and detailed emergency preparedness plans, every protocol is designed to give you peace of mind while your child learns and grows.
At Park View Academy, play is not just recreation. It is the foundation of learning. Our classrooms are designed as rich, interactive environments where children explore, create, discover, and make sense of the world around them at their own pace.
Whether building with blocks, painting, exploring sensory bins, or role-playing with friends, every play experience is a learning experience. Our teachers observe, support, and extend children's natural curiosity, helping them make connections and develop skills across all domains.
Serving families within walking distance of two prime Downtown Jersey City neighborhoods.
